    It has been discontinued for 12 years. It will work as long as it works, but it was written for Windows 7 and any Windows update may break it. Registering it today serves no purpose.

    can I still buy it? It’s superior to new products.

    ​@D Fosse wrote the support ended long ago and a registration isn’t require. But deactivation/activation can be a problem. I’ve heard about several users that they have issue when Photoshop is moved to a new computer. In case of any issues of the activation/deactivation process nobody can help.

    Run Photoshop on the machine it is actually installed as long as possilbe. Don’t change anything.
